Charges dismissed in alleged robbery

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Charges have been dismissed against the man accused in a robbery on campus last week, according to the district attorney’s office.

“The University of Kansas Office of Public Safety learned through further investigation that the alleged incident may not have occurred in the manner originally reported.” Charles Branson, Douglas County District attorney, said in a news release Wednesday.

Police said the 19-year-old who reported the crime, who doesn’t attend the University, said he was walking to his vehicle parked in the southwest corner of the parking lot near the tennis courts when he was approached by two unknown white males.

The man said one of his attackers held him down while the other punched him in the face. He said the attackers took his wallet and told him not to call police before leaving the area in a white Cadillac. The man said his wallet with a credit card and driver’s license were stolen.

KU Public Safety Office arrested one of the suspects Friday, a 21-year-old Perry man. The man was released Wednesday when the charges against him were dropped.
